I plan to make this thread an informative one, posting every detail about it that can be found as a "FAQ". Feel free to debate changes but keep flaming and arguing to a minimum, we are going to try to be constructive. I will track GM comments & bold the important parts concerning this topic. Anyone finding more confirmed information about CO 3 is free to PM me and I will confirm & add it. The first post will be a FAQ with our data, the second post will contain the raw data itself. Under the FAQ will be a changelog that shows what has changed. More questions? Post them here in the thread and I'll see to it that they get answered!

The CO team is glad to inform you that as the development of CO3 keeps rolling on, we are getting closer and closer to this brand new sequel to the CO series! While preserving many popular features of its predecessor, Conquer Online 3 will also bring tons of new elements and improvements!

First, the controversial Battle Power feature will be eliminated. Instead, combat technique becomes the key factor, which means your power will not be decided by how many CPs you own.Hunting, gaining levels and building gear will also be more challenging and you will have the chance to find all kinds of items from fallen monsters.
The 7 unique classes will be reshaped in a more balanced way, which will give you a whole new experience.Servers will be IP-based, to offer more stable community, and with the new technique, botters will find no holes to invade the game world.
Moreover, the graphics will also be enhanced to a higher level.

Do you miss the good ol' days of fighting and having fun in Conquer 1.0? Are you beside yourself waiting for CO3?

In fact, there is a special page for Conquer Online 3, as you said they are two different games, but we'd decide to promote the game on the same Facebook page.

And as regards the information about Conquer Online 3, the topic will contain #Conquer3# at the beginning of the post. ;)

Just accidentally see your question, to which I would like to give an answer.

In fact, as two separate games, as of now there's no service available for such an idea, like transferring your items over to CO 3, and I doubt there will be any.

For a new game, building up your character from scratch with all other players isn't that darn bad, is it? :cool:

I will tell u what i know, First, Tq really can afford the new server and the hardware and sofeware resources. The merge is to getting the server more competition. Second, the reason for Tq making a sequel is they want to get new players or players who already quit back. It is not a good deal for tq to make a new game to just get the ppl transfer from Co2. And as far as I know,the sequel won't call co3. Just an easy name for us now. Last, Both game will be running together as it provide different style of game playing. I am sure a lot of ppl will stay here. Hope this will help.
